Identification of the trade-off between speed and efficiency in undulatory swimming using a bio-inspired robot

Auke Ijspeert, Karen Ann J Mulleners, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Alexandros Anastasiadis

Anguilliform swimmers, like eels or lampreys, are highly efficient swimmers. Key to understanding their performances is the relationship between the body’s kinematics and resulting swimming speed and efficiency. But, we cannot prescribe kinematics to livin ...

Precise and accurate image-based measurements of optical material properties

Marjan Shahpaski

The appearance of objects is governed by how they reflect, transmit and absorb the light they receive. That, in turn, depends on the material's internal structure, surface structure, and viewing and illumination directions. Changes in those characteristics ...

Imaging electron-density fluctuations by multidimensional X-ray photon-coincidence diffraction

Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

The ultrafast spontaneous electron-density fluctuation dynamics in molecules is studied theoretically by off-resonant multiple X-ray diffraction events. The time- and wavevector-resolved photon-coincidence signals give an image of electron-density fluctuat ...

Optical Thickness Measurements of Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation in the X2 Expansion Tube

Umar Sheikh

Experiments were conducted in the X2 expansion tube to measure vacuum ultraviolet radiation from shock layers representative of reentry conditions at flight equivalent velocities of 10.0 and 12.2 km/s. Cylindrical models of varying lengths were used to mak ...

Inner-shell magnetic dipole transition in Tm atoms: A candidate for optical lattice clocks

Sergey Fedorov

We consider a narrow magneto-dipole transition in the Tm-169 atom at the wavelength of 1.14 mu m as a candidate for a two-dimensional-optical lattice clock. Calculating dynamic polarizabilities of the two clock levels [Xe]4f(13)6s(2)(J = 7/2) and [Xe]4f(13 ...

Vibrational energy transfer near a dissociative adsorption transition state: State-to-state study of HCl collisions at Au(111)

In this work we seek to examine the nature of collisional energy transfer between HCl and Au(111) for nonreactive scattering events that sample geometries near the transition state for dissociative adsorption by varying both the vibrational and translation ...

Light trapping in solar cells: numerical modeling with measured surface textures

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Mathieu Gérard Boccard, Thomas Andreas Lanz

We present and experimentally validate a computational model for the light propagation in thin-film solar cells that integrates non-paraxial scalar diffraction theory with non-sequential ray-tracing. The model allows computing the spectral layer absorbance ...

Planck 2013 results. I. Overview of products and scientific results

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Slobodan Ilic

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched 14 May 2009 and has been scanning the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously since 12 August 2009. In March 2013, ESA an ...

Cosmology From Gravitational Lens Time Delays And Planck Data

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes

Under the assumption of a flat Lambda CDM cosmology, recent data from the Planck satellite point toward a Hubble constant that is in tension with that measured by gravitational lens time delays and by the local distance ladder. Prosaically, this difference ...
